The Lagoon 42 is a French sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost as a cruiser and first built in 1990. It was also sold as the Moorings Lagoon 4200 for Moorings Yacht Charter use in the yacht charter trade.
A new design was introduced under the same model name of Lagoon 42 in 2016, but it is now usually referred to as the Lagoon 42-2 or Lagoon 42-2016 to differentiate it from the earlier 1990 design.
